DOA:Dead Or Alive - The Movie
- Thread starter neptune2venus
- Start date
The free tickets were to any movie showing and I had to see DOA
I liked it
It was a simple beat em up movie sure the dialogue wasn't good but neither was street fighters and I watched that and liked it.
Enjoyed the fact that they got the DOA Volleyball franchise into the movie too.
It wasn't great but it was good in my eyes.

I will have no bad words said about this film! I saw it with my mate the other week and we both enjoyed it as a guilty pleasure, not for the storyline (I'm told there actually was one!) but just for seeing the characters come to life, even if the acting was lacking ever so slightly...
After all, let's face it if you want a beat 'em up with a storyline you're better off going for Soul Calibur or Tekken or something. DOA is all about eye candy so the film was inevitably going to be a bit trashy. Overall I was happy with how it truthfully kept to the games - most of the actors actually looked like their characters (except for Hyabussa, but I'm only going by DOA2) and it was good to see DOA Volleyball got a shameless mention too!
By far my favourite bit in it was some of the sound effects; most notably Leon's arms making shotgun noises! Personally I don't think it took itself overly serious, and benefited from it. It's no ground breaking film but I thought it was made pretty well and it'd be hard to think of how to make a better DOA movie. I'd change one thing though: I had a small bet with my mate that Jan Lee would kill Kasumi in the last scene, but he barely gets a mention...
Woah that post got out of control... sorry.

Totally agree with you there, I love that bit with his arms.
What got me was the first round fights were a bit short and the characters seemed to avoid using there special moves and kept to punching and kicking.
Good news though, its rumoured that the DVD release will have extended fight scenes included and quite a few deleted scenes that didn't make it into the final cut due to movie length restrictions

looks like i have to get ahold of this film somehow.....
from what i am reading here, i take it its a mix of Snakes on a Plane with street fighter with babes. (not literally snakes on a plane, but the randomly poorly made film...on purpose lol)
should be a laugh.

I bought this on Saturday and whether with shame or not really, really like it!
Take it for what it is and its just a very fun (and sexy) movie! The person who mentioned it was like Snakes On A Plane but with women doing martial arts is spot-on in my opinion! That's exactly what I thought after watching it a second time!
The woman who played Helena is called Sarah Carter and I actually find her sexier than Holly Valance (who played Christie), which is saying a lot because I find Ms. Valance very sexy indeed!
I also like the film because it doesn't attempt to take itself seriously and also is a very colourful and bright film to look at too.
I also like how sunglasses represent the future of technology in the film. :lol:
